Gillibrand the first 2020 democrat to reveal 2018 tax returns: See what she did

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand from New York published her 2018 return on Wednesday and called on her rivals for the democratic presidential election to follow in her footsteps.

"Join me to encourage all presidential candidates to disclose their taxes. This is what transparency and accountability are all about," Gillibrand said in a video as she challenged the rest of the democratic 2020 participants to do their return public.

FIVE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND

Gillibrand – the first 2020 presidential candidate to reveal her 2018 return – reported an adjusted gross income last year of just over $ 21

4,000, of which nearly $ 168,000 comes from her senate wage and most of the rest from her book agreement.

The Senator paid US $ 29,710 in federal taxes for an effective tax rate of 13.6 percent.

Her campaign wondered that Gillibrand has now released a 12-year tax return – available online – goes back to her first year of Congress in 2007.

"Since my first day in Parliament, I have prioritized transparency and accountability," says Gillibrand.

"For public servants, the release of your tax returns shows the American people that you are only working for them, not power full," she added in an apparent jab to Republican President Donald Trump.

Democrats have repeatedly smeared Trump to refuse to release his tax return. In the 2016 campaign, he became the first major party president candidate for decades not to release his taxes. Trump claimed he was under review by the Internal Revenue Service.

The President's continued refusal to disclose his returns has given rise to criticism that he is hiding assets to avoid charges of conflict of interest.

Tax returns paint an adequate picture of a presidential candidate's financial situation, from income and revenue to the effective tax rate they pay for charitable donations and overseas business.

Presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren stressed that she was released the last decade of her tax statements and as Gillibrand, has urged other candidates to do the same.

But the Massachusetts Democrat has not yet released its 2018 returns.

The Warren campaign told Fox News that the candidate has not yet sent her back in 2018, "but we will also release them."

The tax period does not end until April 15.

Another white house candidate, since Bernie Sanders, has promised to release 10 years of his take x returns, but has not yet followed.

Independent Vermont Senator recently called the "a mechanical problem" team and promised to make the return public "soon".
